Nigerian social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has sparked fresh controversy after criticising Afrobeats star Davido over his previous political comments following his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke’s, support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
The controversy followed reports that Adeleke, who contested the Osun governorship election under the Accord Party, had been named the Osun State coordinator for Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
Reacting to the development, VDM questioned the consistency of Davido’s previous political statements, recalling posts in which the singer strongly criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC).
VDM alleged that Davido had used his popularity and social media influence to encourage public support for his uncle during the Osun governorship election, while claiming that the singer knew more about his uncle’s political alignment than the public did.
The activist also warned Davido against speaking on Nigerian politics again, describing the singer’s previous political involvement as hypocritical. These remain VDM’s allegations and have not been independently established as facts.
DAVIDO’S UNEXPECTED REACTION
Adding another twist to the controversy, reports indicate that Davido liked VDM’s social media post criticising him and his uncle.
The reported reaction caught the attention of fans, with many discussing why the singer would engage with a post containing such direct criticism rather than respond publicly.
However, liking a post does not necessarily mean Davido agrees with every statement or allegation contained in it.
The debate has since expanded beyond the two personalities, raising questions about celebrity influence, political accountability and the expectations placed on entertainers who publicly support political candidates.
While some social media users have backed VDM’s criticism, others argue that Davido has the right to his own political opinions and should not automatically be held responsible for every political decision made by a family member.
As the conversation continues, attention remains on whether Davido will issue a direct response to VDM’s latest remarks.
For now, the dispute has become another major talking point at the intersection of Nigerian entertainment, social media and politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.
